First Impressions
Searching for a job is hard. Accessing good-quality interview clothes that make you look and feel your best shouldn’t be!
Overview
We have a wardrobe of modern professional attire for students in need, free of charge. Just pick out something from one of our pop-up events and take it away. Seriously! It already belongs to you!
Professional Attire Support
We want to ease the cost of transitioning from campus to career and provide a more sustainable solution to students who need to look the part during their job search.
Suit Up, Pay Forward
We give students free professional attire and allow anyone to give unwanted items to young professionals starting their career.
Dress to Impress
You only get one chance to make a first impression, and we want yours to scream “I’m the hire you’re looking for!”
Launch your career with confidence and style!

Walk-in Closet Event
When it’s peak job-hunting season, we unpack our closet and put it all out on display for students to peruse through and take an outfit they need!
These are also opportunities to drop off good quality apparel you’d like to pass on to the next crop of students looking to get into the workforce (e.g. shoes, blazers, belts and ties, suits/skirts/dress pants, dress shirts or blouses, handbags and other accessories).
Check out our event calendar to stay up-to-date for the next walk-in closet event or check below for upcoming dates.
